T&S
Brass received the 2009 InnoVision Technology Award in the category of
sustainability for the development of the water-conserving B-0108 spray valve. InnoVision
is the premier awards program focused exclusively on celebrating achievements
in innovation and technological excellence in the South Carolina Upstate
region.
The company’s sustainability award recognizes it for
developing and engineering the B-0108 spray valve, which helps facilities
significantly reduce water consumption. At 1.2 gpm, the valve can save
thousands of gallons of water per year compared to a 1.6 gpm federal limit
valve (based on five hours of use per day at 60 psi).
Designed
for sustainability, the B-0108 is EPAct 2005 compliant, endorsed by the Green
Restaurant Association, and can help towards receiving credits for LEED
certification through water savings. Additionally, T&S Brass recently
released the new B-0108-C spray valve, which saves even more water by operating
at 0.65 gpm.
